arsenal did it when they left highbury

could we screen print a copy of either the first shirt ever worn at saltergate, or the union jack shirt?

as a memorial to our beloved saltergate?

i know a guy who owns a screen print companay (they did the west ham cup final t-shirts, thousands of them, so he is a reputable `player`), not a one man band.(printed on friut of the loom shirts)

a few quid in it for the club?

I'd be staggered if Alan Stevenson and Jim Brown didn't have a range of "Cheerio" goods in mind. Always worth an email to check, I suppose.

Models: interesting. The Danbury Mint do them for certain clubs; £82.50. My feeling is that not enough folk would buy them at that price to make them available at that price. They are £82.50 to sides with fan bases upwards of 30,000. I wonder how many they have to sell to make it worth producing one? 500? I think Jim Brown has been in conversation with local artists regarding pictures; No reason why he can't ask them if they know of any likely sculptors.


Bits: Alan Stevenson is the man who managed to sell the hand dryers in the ladies' toilets to Coventry fans when they left Highfield Road. Whereas you or I might look at the old place and think "Waller, Halifax, last minute" he seems to look around thinking "How much will that fetch?"

Benches: The tops are certainly salvagable, but the support bits might be quite site-specific. I can see a run of it might sit on new legs in someone's garden, under the gazebo made from sheets of old asbestos... Well, perhaps not, but... I imagine if you went up the Monday after the last home game and said "Here's a tenner, and I've brought my own saw..." (semi-jest; Stevo charged folk at Cov a fee for the item and a fee for getting it out for them, if they couldn't.)
